The artist writes
I exhibited in India in 2019, then moved to Paris in 2020. Becoming a mother here while working at a Montessori school helped me create this series, which I titled Planting Motherhood.
For me, as a woman, it is about going through these stages, which I consider five. The only way to be fully present is to merge my life in India with that of present-day Paris, which calls me to acceptance and, consequently, gratitude.
It has to blend!
Féminin (cinq états)
Five states of a woman's body, made in wool, thread and pencil on small sheets of paper: pregnancy, delivery, youth and vanity, the stares in the street, and the rain.
